CREATING THE WALLBOX PLAYLIST
Playlists
>

WB3S
On-The-Go
The Wallbox Adapter uses a playlist for song selections. The name of the playlist
also contains the wallbox type and options. The first two letters of the playlist
name start with “WB”, then from the Wallbox List, enter the digit or letter type for
your wallbox model. Follow with any features or options from the Option List.
In the example, the playlist name “WB3S” indicates a Seeburg 3W1 wallbox is
attached and the Short period (4-minute) Autoplay feature is turned on.
To create a playlist using iTunes, click File then New Playlist. “Untitled playlist”
will appear, rename to your wallbox type and preferred features and options. If
you make a mistake, double-click the playlist name and retype.
WB3S
All Night Long, (All Right)
Wandering Strangers
That's Life
My Kind Of Town
Rock Around The Clock
See You Later Alligator
The order of songs in the playlist are the same order used for the wallbox title
strips. The first song is the top of the first title strip, usually A1 or song #1, the
2nd song is the bottom. The 3rd song is the top of the 2nd title strip and so on.
In other words, odd numbered songs are at the top, even numbered songs at the
bottom.
Some wallboxes use title strips with sequential letters such as A1, B1, C1 & D1.
Others use sequential numbers as A1, A2, A3 & A4 or buttons and pages with
song numbers. The wallbox adapter automatically translates the wallbox
selection to the playlist and title strip order.

Function Description
C
Continuous Autoplay
If no songs have been selected to play, the wallbox adapter will automatically select a random song. If songs are
selected while the autoplay song is playing, those selections will be played after the end of the autoplayed song.
D
Debug Mode
When a wallbox selection is made, the iPod remains in user control mode and starts the song play. This is used to
manually check what song number is being played for a wallbox selection number. Song plays are not stopped.
H
50Hz Operation
This is used in some countries where the power line frequency is 50 hertz. This usually causes the 60 hertz wallbox
selectors motor to run a little slower.
L
Long Autoplay
If no wallbox selections have been made for a period of 20-minutes, the wallbox adapter will automatically select a
random song to play.
S
Short Autoplay
If no wallbox selections have been made for a period of 4-minutes, the wallbox adapter will automatically select a
random song to play.

The 2-wire zipcord receives the

Wallbox Wiring Diagrams
CAUTION: Do not attempt to hook up a wallbox
power supply if you are not familiar with electrical
wiring, consult with a qualified person or an
electrician. Do not leave any wires exposed,
always use wire-nuts or electrical tape on all
connections. Improper wiring can result in a fire or
shock hazard.
TECH NOTE
Electrical pulses transmitted by the wallbox are
generated by a contact arm rotating on a selector
disc containing contact points. When these
contacts become gummed up and corroded, the
wallbox may not make the proper selection.
Occasionally, these contacts require cleaning.
They can be cleaned with a cloth saturated with
isopropyl alcohol. Do not use emery cloth or
sandpaper as this may remove the plating.
On really worn wallboxes, where basic cleaning
doesn’t seem to cure the problem, you may have
successful results by using a low abrasive polish,
such as “Scratch Out” or “Brasso”. This will make
the contact surfaces shiny and smooth.
